3. Cabbage rolls and coffee...yum, yum, yum
Referencing an old John Candy movie, but only because I am actually having cabbage rolls tonight. ;)

5. I vote steak
But only because I really don't like fish - as I'm not eating with you feel free to ignore me. :shrug:

19. I don't like fish either, but I like tuna salad (not tuna by itself)
and fish sticks. But any other fish, unless it it shellfish, is Yuck!! I would pick the steak too, but it depends on how much work I feel like doing when I get home!

10. Forgive the utter ignorance
What exactly is a pot roast?

The term isn't used over here (at least not in my experience). Roasting and putting into a pot seem to be leading in opposite directions. :dunce:

8. I love the switch from health to unhealthy there
I'm frequently like that. I'll have a salad for lunch - with a massive lump of some ultra-high-fat soft French cheese on the side.

33. Ha. Well, I'm actually pretty consistent
The fudgecicle has no sugar. I do the whole, low carb thing.

But don't ask me about the two packs of M&Ms I just ate this afternoon. :silly:

13. Who eats them?
I can understand your lack of German knowledge when discussing Liechtenstein - but surely even you should grasp English. Conjugation isn't that difficult. :P

16. Tonight for dinner, I'm planning to cook one of my favorites:
My husband named it lamb pazookan. I make it from left-over leg of lamb, and chopped up baked potatoes, chopped onions, and chopped up zuccini. I cook the onions first, and then add the rest. The lamb, as it is already roasted, goes in last. Some dill weed, some freshly ground peppercorns, and voila! All in one huge pan and delicious to boot! I thought it up...many years ago.

29. Hmmm, manage? I'm not sure what you mean...
I cook the onions over low heat in some pretend butter, saute if you will...And then I add the other ingredients and continue cooking (a kind of stir fry, I guess) until it's all done.

It does look good when finished! Alas, no pics to share with you!

Does that answer your question? And BTW THANK YOU for the compliments!

:loveya:

21. Haggis
If I can stomach it...
Traditional Haggis (from Evelyn Hlabse)

1 sheep's pluck (stomach bag)
2 lb.. dry oatmeal
1 lb. suet
1 lb. lamb's liver
2 1/2 cups stock
1 large chopped onion
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, Jamaica pepper and salt

Boil liver and parboil the onion, then mince them together. Lightly brown the oatmeal. Mix all ingredients together. Fill the sheep's pluck with the mixture
pressing it down to remove all the air, and sew up securely. Prick the haggis in several places so that it does not burst. Place haggis in boiling water and boil
slowly for 4-5 hours. Serves approximately 12.

26. Well, I confess, I'm dreaming,
though I should be able to purchase a sheep's stomach and liver as there is a "sheep processing plant" near here.
I'm fond of Scottish celebratory victuals and spirits since my son was most likely conceived after my husband and I attended a Robert Burn's birthday party here in Northern California in 1994.;)

25. According to my grandfather...
it's no good until it's been hung up in a barn three months. But you have to scrape away the maggots.

27. I know somebody who used to hang pheasants
The food she makes is marvellous - but you don't want to ask about how she came across things.

32. Smoked St. Louis Ribs...
It's bike week here in New Hampshire, so naturally, it's raining and cold. It's a perfect opportunity to spend the day smoking ribs.

Anybody got a good source for chunks of cherry or walnut. I'm sick of apple and hickory.
